In western Hunan, this kind of village is also very common, and the village where the Wang family is located is also very easy to see. This is the product of the fusion of several ethnic groups and mutual learning. During the movement decades ago,
Many cultures in western Hunan have been completely annihilated, but there are still many things left in this world.
For example, the Wang family's art of exorcising corpses, Xia You's skills of making paper figurines, and even the use of Bagua and Ziwei. But in Xiangxi, the most famous one is the art of exorcising corpses. The reason why the Wang family is so famous is also because of the art of exorcising corpses.
technical relationship.
Xia You was in front, and I followed behind. I didn't stop until we reached the village.
"What's wrong?" Xia You turned around and asked in surprise.
I squinted my eyes half-closed and shook my head, "Nothing, just go in and ask!"
"Yeah!" Xia You responded and quickly approached the village. A dozen children were playing at the entrance of the village. When they saw Xia You and I walking over, they all showed curiosity.
"Who are you?" one of the older children asked in a loud voice.
Xia You smiled slightly, "I want to inquire about something. I wonder if your adults are here?"
"Yes! It's in the village, go in!" the older child shouted.
I suddenly grabbed Xia You's arm and asked the child with a smile on my face: "Are there any deaths in the villages nearby?"
The child was stunned for a moment, with suspicion in his eyes.
The corner of my mouth curled up, "It seems that no one in this village knows about it anymore. Let's find out in another village!"
Xia You was stunned for a moment, "Change another village? Didn't we just come in?"
"No need!" I said softly, and just when I was about to turn around and leave, I heard the child behind me say loudly, "The last time in Majia Village, a man from Yunyin Village died in a fight over gambling.
People!" The child suddenly shouted loudly.
There was a sneer in my heart, and I looked back at the child, "Lying, how can gambling kill people?"
"I mean what I said!" the child yelled.
I sneered, stepped forward, and slapped him with my hand.
There was a snap, and the sound could be heard by the entire village. Several children around me were suddenly in a daze, standing there and looking at me blankly.
"Tianju, what are you doing?" Xia You suddenly grabbed me.
I grinned and said, "I'm just beating this bitch, I'll get over it first!"
Xia You looked at my cheek, and was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pulled me towards the distance. A few children behind him suddenly heard a shocking cry. There was a burst of chickens and dogs in the village, as if someone was there.
Rushed out of the village.
I didn't bother to pay attention and wandered onto the mainland. I looked back at the village and said to Xia You with a smile: "Let's go to Majia Village and Yunyin Village... It's best to take advantage of the darkness.
, find a place that suits us!”
"Tianju, didn't you say that child was lying?" Xia You looked at me with some confusion.
I smiled slightly and said, "You'll know when you go there!"
I got on the motorcycle and quickly turned the accelerator. After driving for several hundred meters, I suddenly turned back. The village at the foot of the mountain had disappeared by this time, leaving only a pile of
At the mass graves, long flags were constantly fluttering.
I sneered, increased the accelerator, and following Xia You's instructions, I took a detour and reached the mountains.
"This road is the only way between Majia Village and Yunyin Village!" Xia You said.
I glanced around, my eyes flickering across the environment here, but I shook my head. This location is not good. Although there are plants around, these plants are very sparse and are not of much use to me.
"Tianju, what exactly do you want to do? We are comrades in arms. Can't you tell me in advance?" Xia You was a little dissatisfied.
I curled up my lips and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that if I tell you now, I'm afraid it won't work!"
Xia You sighed slightly. She also knew that there were many strange things in this matter. If we miscalculated, both of our lives would probably be decided in this place.
"Follow me!" I glanced around again and walked dozens of meters into the distance. This location was close to a valley, and the surrounding plants were quite dense. I hesitated for a moment with my eyes half-squinted, and then
Said: "Sister Xia You, you stay here, I will go to the valley for a walk, I am afraid I will stay here tonight..."
Xia You nodded hurriedly and said nothing more.
I ducked out of the way and was already walking towards the valley, my steps speeding up even more.
When I reached the center of the valley, I half-squinted my eyes with a sneer on my lips. After scanning the surroundings, I buried more than a dozen soul-calming paper charms around. After covering them with soil, I took out the cinnabar.
The brush painted on the surrounding tree trunks for a long time, hiding the ink fountain deep in the woods, and then turned around and walked towards the original road.
Xia You was leaning against a tree trunk alone, staring at the people passing by on the road with some anxiety in his eyes.
I walked over slowly, gestured to her, and sat next to her.
A gust of breeze blew by, carrying the body fragrance of Xia You, giving it an intoxicating aura. To be honest, although Xia You was in her forties, she looked like she was in her early thirties. She was originally a
With her unrivaled beauty and outstanding temperament, the number of heads turning when walking on the street is definitely high.
"Sister Xia You, how did you learn the art of tying paper figurines in the first place?" When nothing happened, I asked.
Xia You was stunned for a moment, with a trace of thought in his eyes, he sighed softly, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, it was a coincidence, maybe it was fate..."
I sighed in my heart. Isn't it a coincidence that I became a spiritual master?
"My home is in a small town in the north. Every time it comes to winter, it's freezing cold, so few people go out in winter! But every time it comes to winter, food is always scarce, and my family's conditions are relatively difficult.
So basically I don't have enough to eat!" Xia You said softly, with a hint of loneliness on his face, "In the winter of that year, in order to prepare our wedding gift, my fiancé went into the mountains alone...and then, again
He didn’t come back either!”
I was stunned for a moment, feeling a little joking in my heart. I didn't expect that Xia You would have such a memory back then. For her, I'm afraid she will never forget such a memory.
"When the spring of the next year began, someone found his body on the mountain. It had been eaten beyond recognition! I also wanted to die. Later, someone rescued me and taught me this set of skills. My master once
As I said, those legends about spreading beans and creating soldiers are all true, but it’s a pity that only the craftsmanship of this paper man has been passed down!” Xia You lamented.
I also lamented that many things in ancient times were the essence, but very few things were actually handed down. Just like Master Zhu’s methods back then, they could only allow us descendants to come to worship, but they could not truly reach that point.
kind of situation.
"One of the reasons why I can survive is because of my master, and the other is because of this paper man! This paper man... can make him come back to me!" Xia You's eyes were a little lonely.
I was stunned, and I didn't understand the chill in her words for a while, but I knew that since she said that, there must be some way. Maybe it was similar to attracting spirits, maybe it was because of raising ghosts or something.
I didn't speak, and Xia You had no intention of speaking. Although the scene was a bit embarrassing, time was still passing by.
I sighed. In this world, perhaps the only thing that can be left behind is feelings. When a person grows old, what he cares about most is still his original feeling. Xia You is like this, but why should I?
Not like this?
Sighing in my heart, I put the soul-calming paper charm into Xia You's hand, and my eyes fell into the distance.
The sky gradually darkened, and the road in the distance gradually became covered with a layer of fog.
I squinted my eyes half-closed, looked at the time, and adjusted my breathing to calm down a lot.
"Tianju, there is movement!" Xia You said hurriedly.
I immediately cheered up and took Xia You to hide, staring at the road in the distance. At this time, two figures came from the distance. One was in front, the other was following behind, and the person in front
He was holding a bell in his hand and was mumbling something, but his face was very pale.
"The Yin people are on the road, and all the ghosts are avoiding..." The man muttered in a low voice and took a step forward. The figure behind him followed quickly, and the distance was just right. The two figures were not very close to each other.
, not very far either.
"This...this is the third youngest of the Wang family!" Xia You said hurriedly, "Tianju, this is really the third youngest of the Wang family. How did you know that he would definitely pass by here today?"
I immediately pulled her sleeve to signal her to be silent, and my eyes also fell on the shadow behind this person. The figure was wrapped in linen, and the whole body was tightly wrapped, without any trace of it being exposed.
The eldest son of the Wang family is exactly the same as the second eldest son of the Wang family. He is clearly a dead body! Driving the corpse! Driving the corpse! It is said to be driving away the corpse, but the third child of the Wang family is still here driving the corpse away! How long has it been since he left home? There is less to say.
It’s been three days and you’re still here?
"What should we do?" Xia You looked at me hurriedly.
I half-squinted my eyes, my heart beat a little faster, and I held Xia You's arm to prevent her from moving rashly. At this time, the third child of the Wang family had already walked over slowly, and the evil aura on the corpse went straight into my nostrils...
